INSTALLATION
ENCLOSURE DESIGN AND WOOFER INSTALLATION
- Vehicle conditions, amplifier, music preferences, & other variables make it difficult to give you exact dimensions for an enclosure deign. For enclosure designs tailored to your specific needs, please contact us at tech-support@ soundstream.com, or 1-800-724-1377.
- All enclosures should be made of .75″ (3/4″) materialonly. When possible, make the baffle 1.5″ (1 ½) thick and add .75″ (3/4″) to the depth of the enclosure to compensate. All volumes INCLUDE vent/port and subwoofer displacements.
- DO NOT change the volume unless you plan on adding a substantial amount of bracing. For added performance, applying a coat of fiberglass resin to the interior walls will greatly improve sealing the enclosure. Adding a thin layer of poly-fill will improve response by smoothing out reflections within the enclosure.
